Milo: Our Barefoot Shoe for Fitness & Gym Training

Barefoot shoes are becoming a go-to choice for gym training and for good reason. From strength training to functional fitness, minimalist footwear offers better stability, balance and ground feel than traditional cushioned trainers.

Our barefoot gym shoe Milo is designed specifically for indoor training, combining the natural movement of barefoot shoes with the protection and durability needed on the gym floor.

Why Train Barefoot in the Gym?

Many of the best lifting performances are done barefoot because direct ground contact improves balance, control and force transfer. However, training completely barefoot can come with risks, so some people prefer to wear something that provides them with a little more protection.

Barefoot shoes solve this by preserving barefoot benefits while adding gym-ready protection, making it a safer and more practical option for indoor training.

Key Features That Make Milo a Great Gym Shoe

Natural Stability and Power

• Roomy forefoot allows natural toe spread for improved balance and stronger lifts
  

• Flat, zero-drop sole creates a stable base for squats, deadlifts and presses
  

Unlike cushioned trainers, Milo keeps you close to the ground for maximum control.

Secure Fit for Dynamic Movement

• Lateral support strap helps lock the foot in place during side-to-side movements

• Flat laces reduce pressure on the top of the foot while improving lockdown
  

This makes Milo suitable not just for lifting, but also for functional and gym-based training.

Protection Where It Matters

• Upper overlay strap protection for activity such as rope climbing

• MidFlex midsole balances flexibility with underfoot protection

• The toe cap helps protect against everyday gym knocks, light bumps and accidental toe stubs on even surfaces

You get confidence on busy gym floors without losing the barefoot feel.

Built for Durability and Breathability

Milo was refined through real-world gym testing, with durability as a key focus.

• BottleYarn upper made from recycled plastic bottles is breathable, moisture-wicking and abrasion-resistant

• Sidewall stitching and extra rubber in high-wear areas improve longevity
  

• UrbanGrip 3mm outsole provides reliable traction on gym and urban surfaces
  

The result is a minimalist gym shoe built to last through regular indoor training.

One Shoe for the Whole Workout

Instead of swapping shoes mid-session, Milo is designed to handle everything from warm-ups to heavy lifts and accessory work. For gym-goers training a few hours a week, they’re built to last for years.
